Dear Toronto, Please Stop Freaking Out About A Bit Of Snow

We're all Canadian, and with that comes Canadian weather. It should be our Canadian duty to accept the weather (especially such unremarkable weather ) with dignity and poise. Because believe me: Other parts of the country have it far, far worse.

A potentially longer commute tomorrow morning? A bit of snow to shovel? A frosty windshield?

My colleagues in the Toronto HuffPost Canada office concede you haven't even had a bad winter. A bit of snow here and there, some colder temperatures, occasionally.

But, for perspective, let's take a look at other places across Canada that have really had to deal with weather trials and tribulations this season.

Just this past weekend, Newfoundland and Labrador was hit with a gruesome windstorm that left tens of thousands of people without power.

Wind speeds as high as 180 km/h blew roofs off buildings (or blew buildings off foundations entirely) and downed power lines, in what Environment Canada said was the strongest storm to hit the province in a decade.

And a snowstorm earlier this month on Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula left drivers having to navigate between these massive walls of snow:

And, let's not forget the poor people of southern B.C., who have totally failedheroically dealt with record snowfall this season. (To be fair, they get a pass, as they historically haven't had to deal with the responsibilities of a true Canadian winter.)
